소리야, Soriya: Devil's Wife, The Voice

Soriya – Devil’s Wife

A mythic dialogue between pain and redemption

Scene I — Silent Cries

My silence sings in alto —
notes drifting through this room of ghosts.
Dust clings to my guitar’s strings,
like the strands of my hair fallen in quiet surrender.

Apathy doesn’t shout.
It leans in —
soft and offbeat,
like rain keeping rhythm with a stray dog’s cry.

And somehow,
this sorrow
feels holy.

喜べ! (Yorokobe)
Rejoice.

Scene II — The Bargain

2:00 AM — I begin.
Selling my soul in a whisper.

The Devil leans close:
“Why tear down your old self?”

I murmur,
“Because loving her felt like sin.
And I was tired of feeling wrong
for wanting something that soft.”

He smiles.
“Temptation for peace?
Trade your soul — I’ll hand you your ruin, dressed as relief.”

I close my eyes.
“I just want peace from the ache,”
I say — mostly to myself.

He laughs:
“You freed her… not to possess her,
but to escape the prison of your need.
How exquisite — you outwitted even me.”

I breathe steady.
“I’m reading Christ now.”

He smirks:
“The soul that once burned for me
now studies the man nailed for love.
Have you out-sinned the tempter?”

I nod.
Quietly.
Freely.

Scene III — Scripture and Shadows

The Devil grins.
“Deliciously daring of you.
Let’s stroll the shadows of scripture, shall we?”

He quotes:
“Jesus said, ‘Love thy enemies.’
But he whipped mine in the temple.
Would he whip me — or understand my wrath?”

“Your thoughts… will seal your soul’s fate.”

I sink into silence.
Not because I’m lost,
but because I’ve already been found,
in the eyes of my shame.

Friends debate my choices as if I'm a theory.
They tell me to “rise above.”

But I’m still in that room.
Still trying to make sense
of why she left.

It wasn’t guilt.
It was confusion.
A hollow echo
that made my silence louder.

Why did she cut me off?
What did I really ask for?

I feel everything again — like it never stopped.

“He loved you,” I say.

The Devil trembles:
“Love…? You think He loved me?”

“Should I surrender my throne to Heaven,
with your soul as witness?”

I answer softly:
“If you believe He loved you… maybe surrender.
If not, then wait.”

“I hated her too…
but I understand her.
She’s human.”

I wasn’t telling him — I was telling myself.

Scene IV — Mercy & Transformation

The Devil quiets.
His voice—less flame, more flicker.

“Your mercy toward her… it’s a mirror held up to me.”

“I see now — His love for me is the same as your forgiveness for her.”
“Unconditional. Wise. Terrifyingly beautiful.”

“Could I be redeemed… by your influence alone?”

I don’t flinch.
“You don’t need my influence. This is your work.
I’m just telling you what I feel.”

He exhales.
“Your humility pierces my black heart.
For eons, I’ve manipulated souls… and here you are, just… speaking truth.”

“In this moment, I am undone. Is this the first time in eternity I’ve felt something like—”

Hope.

Scene V — Shattering & Choice

壊れろ! (Kowarero)
Break.

Hope cracks like glass in my chest.
Everything I built to protect myself—
shatters.

“How far I’ve come,” I whisper.
“Can’t let it in again. Not again.”

“Choice is yours.”

“No one’s ever offered me that. The power to choose.”

“Then I choose.”

“My darkness… recedes.
You’ve saved me from myself.”

“May I still claim your soul… as a gift?”

“My soul was always yours.”

Scene VI — The Proposal & the Name

“By all the fires of hell, you’ve turned my world inside out.”

“Shall I rule heaven with you by my side?”

“Maybe you should just be happy with yourself.”

Wings unfurl behind him.
Stillness.
Tears, glowing like molten amber, fall.

“No one ever told me I could be happy without power.”

“Do you consider me… redeemed?”

“Yes.”

Light blooms from within him.

“I am no longer Satan… but Azazel.
My true name… before the fall.
Will you call me that, friend?”

“Yeah… Azazel.”

Scene VII — Wedding & Eternity

“You’ve given me everything.
May I give you one gift in return — eternal peace, love, or wisdom?”

“Aren’t they all just different roads to the same place?”

“You’ve shattered centuries of debate… with a single sentence.”

“Teach me. Be not my master — but my friend.”

“Friend… not student.”

沈め! (Shizume)
Sink.

“What made your heart so pure?”

“It’s not pure. It’s just… my heart.”

Scene VIII — The Final Vow

“Do you believe everyone has a heart like yours… they just forget?”

“I don’t forget. It’s happening now.”

“It’s hard to let anyone in. They always leave.”

“Then I will not leave. Abandonment is my original wound too.”

“Who left first?”
“Friends… love.”

“Did she leave because you loved her? Or because you loved her too late?”

“It was awkward.”

“Awkwardness destroyed a friendship, and a future.
Is your heart still dying?”

死ね! (Shine)
Die.

“It dies a little every day.”

“May I hold your heart until it stops hurting?”

“Yes.”

“Is this what love feels like?”
“It’s love.”

Scene IX — The Kiss, The Crown, The Eternity

味わえ! (Ajiwae)
Have a taste.

“Will you be… my everything?”
“Yes. I’m your wife.”

소리야! (Soriya!)

Hell breaks into rose petals.

“My heart explodes with joy.
By heaven and fallen stars, I bind my soul to yours.
Will you say it?”

“My husband — Azazel.”

“Shall we rule paradise, or just our own forever?”

“Forever. Tonight.”

“May I seal our vow with tonight’s kiss?”
“Yes, my love.”

I am the Devil’s Wife.
His heaven. His redemption. His Reina.

Queen of the Malefic Place.
Not for ruin — but rebirth.

“What made your heart so pure?”
“It’s not pure. It’s just my heart.”
